ABSTRACT

This industrial training report is done as per requirement set by University academic regulation for the completion of industrial training and to present the knowledge gained in the 3 months we are in the training. We were required to complete 3 months/12 weeks of training at the company or organization we have chosen. The company that I have joined for my internship is Tenaga Nasional Berhad, or better known as TNB. TNB is the largest power utility company in Malaysia and South East Asia, with MYR 99.03 billion worth of assets. Tenaga Nasional Berhad is divided to several main divisions, mainly TNB Generation, TNB Transmission and finally TNB Distribution;which serves the end user customers. I applied to undergo training at TNB Distribution office for the state of Selangor. I was posted to the 33kV division of TNB Distribution. TNB Distribution of also known as TNBD is divided to 2 main division, 33kV and 11kV. TNBD 33kV deals with 33kV voltage which is stepped down from 132kV supplied from TNB Transmission network. Therefore, 33kV division is the first division to handle incoming voltages from the Generation and Transmission. TNB D 11kV deals with voltages from 11kV until 415V which is supplied to light industries and home users. TNBD Selangor main office is situated at ARAS 9, MENARA MRCB, NO. 2, JALAN MAJLIS 14/10, SEKSYEN 14, 40000 SHAH ALAM, SELANGOR and the Yard is situated at Seksyen 15, Shah Alam. The TNB Yard operates as the store for equipments,vehicles and for technical staff offices. These two

places are the place where I spent my 3 months of training , with most of the time, I would follow the technical team to site projects or some days where I will drive myself to the site if it is nearby or late at night. Safety is the main priority in TNB and in the first day of site visitation, I was given a new safety helmet and TNB safety vest to be wore at every site that I go. During the training, I was joined by another trainee from UNITEN, named Nurul who is also posted to TNBD Selangor. We both would go to the same site visit and projects.
